[.ca] Tonka: Fire Trucks in Action (ISBN 0439434327)

sturdy toddler fun:
This sturdy little book contains eight pages. The narrative loosely follows a fire truck as it leaves the station and rescues a cat from a tree. Each page has a moving part, and these are entertaining to kids who've only seen lift-the-flaps. There are four flaps as well as a firefighter sliding down a pole, the truck going down a hill, hubcaps turning and the truck's ladder lifting to the cat. This board book is heavy and sturdy. Flaps may be torn, but other moving parts aren't going anywhere!

a must for a truck lover!:
My son absolutly LOVES this book. He's had this book since he was about 1 or 1 1/2 years old. He constantly has me read it to him again and again! He takes it to bed with him, looks at it falling asleep, and again when he wakes up. It's a sturdy board book. The pictures are bright and eye catching, just like you see on the cover. The text has a rhyming flow to it. "Busy, Busy, wheels at work..." Each page discribes a different piece of heavy machinery in a rhyming text...with the text either saying what the machine is or a function that it does. There's a truck, a roller, gears, wheels, engines, trencher, a bulldozer, ect. A definate must-have book for a truck lover!
